Write React components, get real MP4 videos. This skill teaches your AI agent how to build with Remotion — from a first animation to a production rendering pipeline.
29 rules. Every major Remotion feature covered.

What you can build with this
Personalized video at scale
Feed user data as JSON props, render a unique video per user. Think Spotify Wrapped, GitHub Unwrapped, onboarding walkthroughs — one template, thousands of outputs.
Automated social media clips
Pull live data (stats, leaderboards, product metrics) and render daily or weekly video posts without anyone touching a timeline editor.
Dynamic ads and marketing videos
Swap in customer name, product image, pricing. Same template, infinite variations. Render server-side via API or Lambda.
Animated data visualizations
Turn dashboards and KPI reports into shareable video clips with animated charts and transitions.
TikTok and Reels captions
Transcribe audio, display word-by-word highlighted subtitles, export ready for upload.
Product showcase videos
Auto-generate from your database — images, specs, pricing — straight to MP4.
Educational and explainer content
Animated course materials, certificate videos, step-by-step walkthroughs — all driven by code.
Video generation as a service
Expose rendering as an HTTP endpoint. Your app sends JSON, gets back a video file.
